Good product!

I bought this unit to replace a Kenmore unit I installed in 2000. That unit worked great, but it was starting to show it's age. I was pleased with that one, and I'm equally pleased wtih this one. My wife said she immediately noticed the difference in the softness of our water. There was another plus I have to commend Sears for. The efficiency of this model has been upgraded, but they did not change the "basics" of this unit from their 2000 model. I was able to use the existing plumbing and hookup setup because this unit is the exact same height of my previous one and working parts are all the same as well. In other words, this was an EASY install! I pulled the old one out, put this one in and had it up an running in no time. Well done Sears!

Poor quality

Purchased on 8-20-12, installed on 9-6-12. Poor quality plastic part inside top of tank suddenly broken without any reason. Shot water all over room, water flooded and damaged the carpet, got on computers printers, wood desks etc. The day before we had to go out of town
lucky we were still home. Waiting to see what Sears is going to do.

so far I am happy with this product. Still waiting to see how much salt it uses, and how often it regenerates. Can you tell when it does? So far I am happy with it and give a five star raring. The hardness in my area is about 9, I have set the hardness at 15. Is this about right?

Very pleased with this softener. We had a Sear water softener that had been left idle by the previous owner and need to be replaced. This new softener lined up perfectly with the plumbing and outlets we already had so installation was relatively simple. WE could feel the difference in the water immediately. Very pleased with purchase.

I down loaded the instructions before it arrived and the instructions were clear so that I had everything I needed to make the final connections. I did my own three valve bypass set up for service so the one with the unit was not used and could have been an accessory for someone handy like me. David W

After installing my water softener i had to wait a couple of day before i could tell the Difference in the water because our water is so hard . on the second day when taking my bath i could not believe the difference my hair was tangle free and shiny , My skin is really dry but after i took my bath for the first time i no longer needed after bath oil , lotion or anything . No more itchy skin , Laundry came out so clean and soft .
I am a happy Sears Costomer
